Challenged

God manages to reach me through the words in songs - I'm learning they're powerful tools to equip and challenge... There are times they make me restless and uncomfortable, in my most comfortable, comfort zone. As now. And I know I need to respond, but just now, I'm not sure how to. Perhaps it's fear, or perhaps my own selfishness. Perhaps it's being scared of missing the point - being His will and plan, so it's just safer to sit and wait? I don't know. Yet, restless and again shifted from my cushy comfort zone -- I know I need to answer back. Somehow..


I Will Follow You



Where you go, I'll go
Where you stay, I'll stay
When you move, I'll move
I will follow...

All your ways are good
All your ways are sure
I will trust in you alone
Higher than my side
High above my life
I will trust in you alone

Where you go, I'll go
Where you stay, I'll stay
When you move, I'll move
I will follow you
Who you love, I'll love
How you serve I'll serve
If this life I lose, I will follow you
I will follow you

Light unto the world
Light unto my life
I will live for you alone
You're the one I seek
Knowing I will find
All I need in you alone, in you alone

In you there's life everlasting
In you there's freedom for my soul
In you there's joy, unending joy
and I will follow

(Chris Tomlin, Jason Ingram, Reuben Morgan)

[When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” Luke 18:22]

[By day the LORD went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night. Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left its place in front of the people. Exodus 13:21-22 NIV]
